If Big Mike was shot in the back, the cigarillos DO NOT matter...

Also, we need to hear from that store clerk because it looks to me like Mike was reacting to an personal instrusion by the clerk and there's no proof the clerk did not mistake a pack of cigarillos Mike already had when he came into the store.

Still too much information that we don't know yet.

Still, even if it was a strong-arm robbery, the penalty is not execution.

Finally, we need to hear more from Dorian Johnson because he has been saying the interaction with Wilson (the cop involved in the incident) began when Wilson ordered them out of the street, not because Mike was suspected of a robbery.

Meaning no weapon, and not what I seem to be hearing incessantly on TV: "strong-armed robbery". I have to assume they meant to lure me into thinking "strong armed-robbery". What they lured me into thinking instead was, "Assholes!"
